Shami’s gaze shifted away from the strange skeleton and returned to White-Hair.
White-Hair had just finished off all the skeletons and seed a bit out of breath. When she looked back, the skeleton rider on the Bone Horse was already two ters behind her.
Shami didn’t care if she could dodge the skeleton’s attack or not, his eyes were fixed in that direction.
Since his battle with Cash, he leveled up to level 6 and gained a new skill, which was perfect to test out on this skeleton.
[Skill Na: Submit]
[Description: By releasing Magic Power, let the creatures sense the presence of the Demon King.]
An aura unique to the Demon King pierced through the air, stabbing through the skeleton rider like Sword Qi. The Bone Horse panicked, and the skeleton rider’s movents also stopped imdiately, its hollow eyes frantically looking around.
At the sa ti, Lina’s sword rose and fell, the tip stabbing into the skull of the skeleton.
...
The entire chaotic process lasted about ten minutes, during which White-Hair single-handedly held off over two hundred skeletons.
"Shami! Are you hurt anywhere? You’re not hurt anywhere, right?"
As soon as the battle ended, Lina hurried to Shami’s side, examining his body up, down, left, and right.
"I’m fine. Thanks to your protection at the front, Lina."
Shami showed a grateful expression.
Lina finally let out a sigh of relief, "It’s good you’re okay. I wouldn’t know what to do if you got hurt."
Saying this, the white-haired girl raised her sword once more.
"Wait for , my teacher said skeletons have two weak points, let go give them all a finishing blow first."
"..."
White-Hair is unexpectedly cautious.
After reorganizing, the rchant convoy set off again, and Lina was rewarded with 5 Gold Coins for her assistance. The convoy arrived at Eden City in the afternoon.
"This way, this way."
Perhaps worried that Shami wasn’t used to big city crowds, Lina hurriedly grabbed Shami’s hand as soon as they entered the city, making him stand by her side while introducing the city’s sights as they walked.
Although, to be honest, the young girl hadn’t visited big cities often during her year and a half away, she still put on a practiced deanor in front of Shami.
Shami didn’t quite understand what White-Hair was up to, but with a goodwill level of 90, he didn’t think White-Hair was tricking him into getting arrested. He leisurely followed beside her.
"Alright, let’s end our stroll here for now. I need to head to the Adventurer’s Guild to apply for a new Adventurer’s Certificate."
Lina spoke as she walked, introducing to Shami, "Shami, do you also want to get an Adventurer’s Certificate? Actually, getting a trainee certificate is quite easy, you just need to pay monthly and attend Adventurer University. Although you hardly learn anything there, you earn credits, and once you have enough credits, you can get a trainee certificate."
Shami frowns a bit.
"Do you have to do it this way? But I’m not really interested in these things where you have to spend money and suffer."
Lina quickly placed her finger in front of her mouth, glancing at the bustling crowd around her, whispering.
"Quiet down, this is a taboo topic. The Adventurer’s Guild doesn’t like villagers comnting on their model, Shami."
Why does this feel familiar?
Shami frowns and lowers his voice too.
"I’d rather honestly stay a villager."
Lina looked at Shami for a mont, paused, and then smiled sweetly.
"Whether Shami’s a villager or a Hero, it doesn’t matter."
The two of them walked around Eden City for twenty minutes, still not reaching the Adventurer’s Guild when Shami stopped Lina.
Relying on his mory of visiting this place twice before, he keenly noticed that this was not the direction to the Adventurer’s Guild at all.
"Did we go the wrong way?"
Looking at the map while searching for the Adventurer’s Guild, Lina stopped and uttered a small, "Eh?"
"Impossible? Oh, it must be in this direction."
She confidently headed in another direction.
Ten minutes later, the city gate.
Twenty minutes later, the residential area.
Thirty minutes later, the city Teleportation Gate.
Forty minutes later, they were back at the original spot.
Lina wiped the sweat off her face, looking around seriously.
"Ugh, as expected of a big city’s Adventurer’s Guild, hidden so well!"
"You’re just lost! This is a landmark building! With the map in hand, Lina, you didn’t use it at all!"
Shami snatched the map from White-Hair and quickly led her to the Adventurer’s Guild, then pushed her in.
"Hurry, we’ve wasted so much ti."
About half an hour later.
Lina jogged out, returning to Shami’s side with a bitter expression.
"...Waited so long in line before it was my turn to get the Adventurer’s Certificate. I nearly fell asleep. One day, I’ll blow this thing up."
"Pay attention to your status as a Hero."
The two of them t up on the street.
"Let’s go, let’s buy sothing."
They wandered around, with White-Hair buying so things she needed, such as a super-cheap Spatial Ring, ointnt for treating wounds, and so on.
Halfway through, Lina realized sothing.
Oh no, I was supposed to take Shami out to have fun, how did it turn into my equipnt shopping trip!
She quickly checked the ti.
It’s three in the afternoon, there’s still ti to hang out with Shami.
Lina looked at Shami with embarrassnt, "Sorry for dragging you out and just having you accompany shopping..."
"It’s fine."
Shami shook his head. He hadn’t gotten a chance to properly appreciate the city on his two previous visits, so today was a great opportunity to truly experience the culture and sights of Eden City.
If considered as an Outerworld tour, today’s trip could score a nine out of ten.
"Uh, where would you like to go next, Shami? I’ll cover all the expenses for the rest of the day!" Lina quickly added.
Seeing White-Hair so determined, Shami glanced around and his gaze finally landed on an ice beverage shop.
"How about treating to an ice cream?"
"Of course, no problem!"
They went into the shop, and just after picking a Saint Karno flavored ice cream, White-Hair touched her Spatial Ring, spaced out for a mont, then turned to Shami with an embarrassed look.
"Already out of money, huh! Then don’t make such bold claims!"
Shami quickly went over and paid.
"Sorry... Despite being a knock-off, this Spatial Ring still cost 5 Gold Coins... Didn’t realize I ran out of money."
"..."
Shami looked at White-Hair’s sweaty face, and she shafully lowered her head.
He got the ice cream, noticing there were two sticks. He split it in half and offered it.
White-Hair’s small hands didn’t move.
"Don’t want it?"
"Wanting to treat, but turning into a freeloader feels too shaful, so I’m scared to reach out..."
"You said your inner thoughts out loud."
White-Hair’s cheeks were flushed, still repenting for freeloading on Shami again.
"Take it." Shami forcibly handed it over, and White-Hair had no choice but to take it.
